SP-123 Schwalbe II

558 Fliegerkerlchen  3.3 years ago

After the Reunification of Germany under Socialist Rule in 1990, the leadership of the new United German Peoples Army and Navy decided, that they needed a new, self-build Interceptor and Fighter-Bomber for land and carrier-based operation. The result of this competition was this sweep-wing design.

The controls are simple:
Throttle above 95%: Afterburner
VTOL: Sweep Wings
Trim: Trim
AG1: Tail Hook

Thanks to Valvis for his fantastic afterburner tutorial.
